go-kitesurf,
You will get a proxy anyway. So, why are you afraid to cast your vote. Let the shareholders decide, that is the American way, last time I checked.
For those of you who are so against this, you must have something to fear.
As far as my making a fool of myself, well, you all think that of me anyway (not that I care). If the shareholders vote against it, so be it. If they vote for it, maybe it will be time for you all to sell.
